Abstract

Abstract A security hasp for a door which when the door is closed projects forward along side a fixed keeper in position to be locked thereto by a padlock. For security a shrouded padlock is used having a lock case which shrouds its shackle and form a yoke embracing the hasp and keeper from below, and the hasp carries a hood which projects across the keeper and across the yoke opening of the padlock and thereby cooperates with the shrouds to shield the lock shackle from access by a cutting tool.
